Anne Purho

The subjects and ideas of my artwork mostly arise from observations, moments, emotional traces and are often built around different themes. As a media watercolor is for me an endless source of interest, inspiration, harmony and joy.
Watercolor is my main media, but drawing and making graphics are equally important when I study the subject and its structure, shape and light before painting. I graduated as a graphic designer, studied marketing and communications, which has given me various tools and keys to express my thoughts and visualize them into artworks.

I live and work in Hamina, a small coastal town in Finland, where I also have small local workshop. I have had solo exhibitions, and have participated in numerous international exhibitions, for example FabrianoInAcquarello since 2017. I have been involved in various visual art and watercolor communities.
Country Leader for Finland at FabrianoInAcquarello since 2023.
President of The Finnish Watercolour Society FWS since 2026.
